This is a hymn that praises Jesus and reminds us to praise him. We are not told what inspired Crosby to write the song. Maybe she was inspired by the welcome Jesus received on Palm Sunday as he entered into Jerusalem.

Crosby wrote many songs of praise in her 8,000 songs to God. The song may have been a time when her heart was full of praise for her savior.

Crosby actually praised God for her blindness. She said, “It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dispensation. If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me.”

Welcome

Welcome to my virtual home. My goal is to help women who are hurting to discover that there is hope, faith and love regardless of what she may be dealing with.

I share encouragement through Life Application {including my personal struggles} and Biblical Application. I also incorporate my love of music and history into my site.

Need a speaker or musician? I am available to speak on a variety of subjects for mixed audiences or women only. I often include music in my presentations. I am available to share a concert and my testimony with your church.

I am a writer,being a novelist at heart, and have been published in a number of anthologies. I have some e-books that will be published before the end of the year and completed novels I am currently praying about the next direction to take.

On top of being a writer, blogger, musician and speaker I wear a number of other titles. These include daughter, sister, caretaker, Certified Activities Director, life coach, Genealogists, and survivor. But my most important title is child of God.

As you can see, I enjoy a variety of interest and talents. I've done my best to provide a section for each of these to make it easier for you to find information. I hope you will take the time to visit me online and get to know me. Please feel free to contact me!
